scraper or wire brush to be sure that you remove all rust and
dirt.

wheel studs or nuts are damaged, contact the nearest
Authorized Mahindra Dealer.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if
equipped)
TPMS is an electronic system designed to monitor the air
pressure inside the pneumatic tires. This system will alert the
driver if the tyre pressure falls below the low pressure
warning limit for any reason, including low temperature
effects and natural pressure loss through the tyre.
The TPMS will continue to alert the driver and will not turn
off until the tyre pressure is inflated to the recommended
pressure.
Operation of TPMS
TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tyre pressure levels. Sensors
mounted to the valve stem of each wheel, transmit tyre
pressure readings to the receiver module. Receiver module in
turn will communicate this information to the instrument
cluster and infotainment system. Tyre locations will display as
OK, if all tyre pressure and temperature are in the
recommended range.
